Abstract
Rotator cuff tears account for a significant majority of shoulder pain presentations. Without diagnosis and management, advanced cuff tears may progress to cuff tear arthropathy, a degenerative arthritis condition of the shoulder. This article discusses the causes and management of cuff tear arthropathy, including definitive treatment with reverse shoulder arthroplasty.Entities:
